Cultural events in Brazil regarding autism and Black history

Overview

Cultural exhibitions are being held across Brazil focusing on diverse social themes. In Minas Gerais, events include the “Arte no Espectro: as mais variadas expressões” exhibition, which showcases works by artists from the “Aldo Pavão Junior” Municipal Reference Center for Autism, and the “Correspondências: memória, imagem e presença” exhibition, which uses historical photographs and letters to explore Black history in southern Minas Gerais.

As Black Awareness Month is observed, various institutions are hosting events centered on history and cultural resistance. In Rio de Janeiro, the “Valongo: Justice for the Memory of the Pier” exhibition highlights the Cais do Valongo. In Bahia, the State Attorney General’s Office is using artificial intelligence for the “Fragments of Memory” exhibition to reconstruct the faces of enslaved and freed individuals.

Recent programming for Black Awareness Month includes the Sesc Culturas Negras festival in São Paulo, featuring music, cinema, and debates. In Atibaia, the sixth edition of Novembro Dandara includes literature, capoeira, and the reopening of the Memorial Negro de Atibaia. Carapicuíba is hosting the Circuito Novembro Negro with lectures and workshops.

Newer initiatives for November 2026 include a program in Macaé organized by the Municipal Secretariat for the Promotion of Racial Equality, featuring a braiding course, theatrical performances, the Carukango Prize, and a tribute to singer Clara Nunes. In Juiz de Fora, the Special Secretariat for Racial Equality is hosting activities covering religious racism, health, and violence against Black women. This includes a seminar on environmental racism to address how climate crises and racial inequalities impact social vulnerability following recent local flooding.
